George Highfill was a Warner Bros/Reprise Records recording artists in the late 80's. He was part of the Town South of Bakersfield group in playing traditional country music in Los Angeles, California. The "town that was south of Bakersfield." Bakersfield especially in the 60's and early 70's was a hotbed for a style of country music that relied heavily on twanging fender guitars and pedal steels. It had a very rocking drive to it and featured musicians and songwriters included, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Tommy Collins and Wynn Stewart. In the 80's country music began a new boom with people like Randy Travis and Ricky Skaggs in Nashville. Lots of great musicians moved out to California because Nashville was getting overpopulated. Jim Lauderdale, Dwight Yoakam, and many other musicians from various parts of the country, North Carolina, Kentucky and Texas most notably, migrated west and settled in LA. Once there, producer Pete Anderson with the help of Mad Dog Studios and Engineers Dusty Wakeman and Michael Dumas created the town south of Bakersfield sound. Great country lyrics and songs produced with a very definite Rock mindset and a new genre West Coast Country was born. From that beginning, country rock resurfaced and cow-punk and roots rock gained a foothold for a while. George Highfill was one of the artists that Pete Anderson produced. He released an album called, Waitin' Up right at the end of the "Hat Acts" period in Nashville and even though he did well, it wasn't good enough for the bean counters and George Highfill never got the recognition he deserved. He still remains one of the best songwriters from that scene and here is a song he performed on New Country from his album, called Mad Money.

DOYLE: ....I’m just saying he’s projecting a certain kind of image, and asking for money isn’t part of it. He’s sensitive about that. CORDY (getting up): Oh, here he comes. Okay, we’re going to stand up to him. DOYLE (standing up): Yup, we’re standing up. CORDY: Just as soon as he’s had his coffee. DOYLE: Right. ANGEL: Morning. DOYLE and CORDY: Morning.

Rating Info

Fiction Rating Key Here

"NR" = "Not Rated"

Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glances show they're needed. The "F-bomb" requires FRMA, no matter how it's used. Graphic depictions of violence and/or child sexual abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)
